Mertins C. A. -A- #23 (API 42-485-37043) is a well in Wichita County operated by W T X Capital Investments LLC, completed February 1, 1981 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 10, 1980, permitted to 1,600 ft.
It was permitted by Thomas Production and has since transferred to W T X Capital Investments LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 10.5K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 24 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
